Company Profile - Exmoor National Park Authority

Exmoor was designated as a National Park in 1954. Since then the co-ordination of work to achieve National Park purposes in the area has been undertaken by local government – first by the county councils and, since 1997, by a free-standing Authority. The Authority decides what measures can be taken to achieve these purposes, which are:

To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Parks

To promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the Parks by the public.

The National Park is one of the most treasured landscapes in the UK, valued as much for its peace and tranquillity as for the opportunities it provides for adventure and discovery. Working for the Authority you will experience this inspiring environment every day. You will work with passionate and dedicated colleagues and provide a range of services to benefit those living in, working in and visiting the park, as well as National Park wildlife, cultural heritage and habitats. We employ about 80 people in sites accross the National Park. Head office is in Dulverton, Somerset.
